“You get caught up in comparing yourself to other people,” the “Ray of Light” singer told the UK paper. “Should I be like that, act like that, look like that? Will that make me more popular, or more successful?”
“I was lucky enough to have a life as an artist before the phone and Instagram and social media because I did have that time to develop as an artist and a human without feeling the pressure of judgment of other people or comparing myself to other people.” she added.
Raising her 22-year-old daughter Lourdes, she shared how much she has to tell her to love who she is.
